This recipe was super easy and good, but if i make it again i wouldnt add nearly as much balsamic vinegar as indicated. The sauce was very dark, too acidic. Also would have saved the grape tomatoes to add at then end. Although the picture shows the tomatoes in the final dish, the pressure obliterated them to the point they werent identifiable.
Halved the balsamic. Next time i’ll halve the red pepper too. Flavor very good but it’s pretty spicy as is. Maybe a touch more water as well to prevent burning.
Cut the balsamic and ted pepper by galf. Way to spicy!
Yum. Flavors are amazing. Used regular mozzarella because I had it on hand. And reduced the balsamic vinegar in half. Also I chopped the tomatoes the night before with some basil and garlic and added them at the end of cooking.
Excellent. A new family favourite.
This was amazing! After reading the comments i cut the balsamic to 1/8 cup and next time I will cut it back a little more. I waited to add the tomatoes and did not add red crushed peppers.
Use half an onion and about an 1/8 C Balsamic
Easy recipe. Used half a onion instead of whole came out perfectly.
So easy and tasty. Next time I will add 1/8 cup of the balsamic vinegar as others have suggested. I also used sun dried tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes.
It was great. I used less vinegar than the recommended amount. My pasta overcooked because I let it sit after being done. It must be served as soon as it is done.
The ingredients list includes tomato sauce, but the instructions say to add pasta sauce. Those are different things. I used tomato sauce but did add some sugar and garlic salt at the end. Helped the flavor and my kids loved it.
Halved the balsamic, and added the tomatoes at the end after cooking. Next time I’ll reduce the red pepper as the full teaspoon was SPICY. But the flavor was fantastic and I’ll definitely make it again.
